I used to play RTS games like Warhammer, then got into Heroes of Might and Magic and its spin-offs like Pennon and Battle. I've also played XCOM 2 and Age of Wonders 4. Any other must-play series you'd recommend?

It's not real time but Civilization is a must for any strategy fan. I personally recommend getting V and all its expansions, it's peak for me still. Some like VI but I could never get into it.

Unciv is a free, open-source reimplementation of Civilization V. It doesn't have all the eye candy and music and such that the series is famous for but as a result of not having it runs responsively on a phone.

No, Civ IV has the best mods because the game was designed to support them.
